What do you think about Louis kissing Freddie on the lips in his documentary? I guess he's trying to make it clear that he's Freddie's dad, well at least wants people to think it, and yet Larries are saying he was forced into it. Sigh.
My kneejerk reaction is, uh, yeah, for at least two YEARS now, he's been makin' it crystal clear, lol, stop following blogs that edit shit out, but also, I haven't seen the doc--I'm going one week from tomorrow!--so come back and ask me then. One thing I cannot abide in the one direction fandom is the contextless goldfish brain takes on shit, I'm happy to give my thoughts when a) someone sends me the full clip, including before and after it, and/or b) I see the whole thing myself. Will i know peace when people who say they support a 31YO white millionaire who seems to be on top of his game actually get and support the fact that he's on top of his game? I'd like to think so, but i have a lot of other interests, so it really doesn't factor into my daily, ergo we'll never know if that's the deciding factor

DP x DC Prompt #16
When Hal had asked him which town he protected, Danny was more than happy to tell him, "Amity Park!" When Hal asked Danny where it was, Danny hadn't thought the response, "At this moment? Or where it was last week?" would've caused such chaos in the meeting.
Danny knew not everyone's town traveled across the country, but he didn't think it was odd enough to warrant this kind of reaction.

before you know about women, you hear that you do not need to love the man, just that you need to love him through his manhood. which is to say you have seen the future painted in lamb's blood over your eyes - how your mother shoots you a look about your father's inability to cook right. how your aunt holds her wineglass and says i'm gonna kill em. men, right! how your best friend bickers with her boyfriend, how she says i can't help it. i come back to him.
you learn: men are gonna cheat. men aren't going to listen when you're talking, because you're nagging. men think emotions are stupid. they think your life is vapid and your hobbies are embarrassing. men will slam things, but that's because men are allowed to be angry. if you get loud, you're hysterical. if a man gets loud - well, men are animals, men are dogs, men can't control their hands or their eyes or their bodies. they're going to make a snide comment about you in the locker room, about your body, about how you're so fucking annoying. you're going to give him kids, and he will give you the money for the kids, and you're going to be running the house 24/7 - but he gets to relax after a long day, because his job is stressful. the man is on stage, and is a comedian, and says "women!"
and you are supposed to love that. you are supposed to love men through how horrible they are to you - because that's what women do. that's what good women do. wife material. your father even told you once - it'll make sense when you're older. it was like staring down a very lonely tunnel.
it feels like something's caught in your throat, but it's all you know, so. it's okay that you see sex as a necessary tool, a sort of okay-enough ritual to keep him happy, even though he doesn't seem to care about happiness as-applied-to you. it is relationship upkeep. it is kissing him and smiling even though he didn't brush his teeth. it is getting on your knees and looking up and holding back a sigh because he barely holds you as you panic through the night. it's not like the sex is bad and you do like feeling wanted. and besides! he's a man! like... they're another species. you'll never be able to actually communicate, right. he isn't listening.
you just don't get it. you don't feel that sense of i'm gonna climb him like a tree. mostly it just feels fucking exhausting. you play the part perfectly. you smile and nod and are "effortlessly" charming. and it's fine! it's alright! you even love him, if you're looking. you could have good life, and a good family, and perfectly happy.
in the late night you google: am i broken. you google i'm not attracted to my husband. you google i get turned on by books but not by him. you google how to get better in bed.
the first time he yells at you, it almost feels like blankness. like - of course this is happening. this is always how it was going to end up. men get angry, and they yell, and you sit there in silence.
you mention it to your friend - just the once - while you're drunk. she shrugs and says it's like that with me too, i just try to forget and move on. men are always gonna hear what they want to. pick your battles and say sorry even though he's in the wrong. you play solitaire online for a month. you go to your therapist appointment and preach about how you're both so in love.
after all, you have a future to want. nobody lied about it - how many instagram posts say marriage is hard. say real love takes work. say we fight like cats and dogs but the best part is that we always make up. how many of your friends say happy anniversary to the best and worst thing to ever happen to me. if you really loved him - loved yourself too - you'd accept that men are just different from you.
the first time she kisses you, it's on a dare at a party. something large and terrifying whips through your body. you wake up sweating from dreams where her mouth is encrusted with pearls and you pick them off one by one with your teeth. fuck. you sit at the computer and your almost-finished game of sim city. you think about your potential perfect life and your potential future family. you google am i gay quiz with your little hands shaking.
you delete each letter slowly. you don't need to love him. you just need to keep going.

Diff anon about Louis career. I agree to all your points but I also want to say my problem with his promo so far has not been about chart success/streaming numbers at all. It's just that they made close to none effort to expand his fanbase. Soccer Am, Le resistance were a very welcome addition. But other than that especially in US none. And if as louis says he wants to make 5 albums and tour for 10 years, it's impossible with his current fanbase. A fanbase where majority of them throw a fit if he simply mentions his kid or others who like to criticize his every career move. Like there's too much friction. Majority these ppl are going to get exhausted one day and simply leave cuz let's be real he is never no longer going to fit in their theories. He/his team have way too much faith in this fickle fandom. It's not sustainable.
I just want him to have some casual fans. Outside of this nonsense. Who got no interest in his personal life but are just happy with his music. Enough with larrie/rad/ solos can he just have louies instead.
See, I don't think that's strictly true--I very much think he can and will bring in new people, casual fans, and you know how I know? Because he's literally doing it, lol, and maybe they aren't millions of people coming to him from my dentist's office playlist, but they are coming in, albeit in smaller numbers and with a delayed start and from different vectors. I think he and his team know what they're doing, I think they *have* made the effort to expand his fanbase (it's in the negative space, if you're asking me), and if their goal is to shed the ickier bits of his current fanbase, the whingey ones who can't handle the concept of a kid or other facets of his life, then GOOD, shed away, my liege. He has name recognition for life, if he wanted to tour for the next twenty years based on his discography to date to a smaller crowd, sprinklin' in a new tune every now and again, he could, and quite easily (soooo many bands do that to this day). I think a lot of his fans need to face the fact that he's not Harry Styles, nor does he seem to want to be, that he's not going to have that level of crazy, nor does he seem to aspire to it. I also question if he really DOES want to be touring in ten years' time--he could change his mind, he could just be saying that to placate the nervous nells in his core base, but at the end of the day, he doesn't owe anyone the truth about where he'll be in a decade. Who among us even knows that for a fact for ourselves?
